Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the process control industry. More specifically, the present invention relates to field devices used in the process control industry which communicate using two-wire process control loops.
  • Field devices such as transmitters, are used in the process control industry to remotely sense a process variable.
  • the process variable may be transmitted to a control room for use in controlling the process or for providing information about process operation to a controller.
  • information related to pressure of process fluid may be transmitted to a control room and used to control the process, such as oil refining.
  • Another type of field device for example, is a valve controller.
  • One typical prior art technique for transmitting information involves controlling the amount of current flowing through a process control loop.
  • Current is supplied from a current source in the control room and the transmitter controls the current from its location in the field.
  • a 4 mA signal can be used to indicate a zero reading and a 20 mA signal can be used to indicate a full scale reading.
  • transmitters have employed digital circuitry which communicates with the control room using a digital signal which is superimposed onto the analog current signal flowing through the process control loop.
  • Some techniques send purely digital signals.
  • One example of such a technique is the HART® communication protocol proposed by Rosemount Inc.
  • the HART® protocol and other such protocols typically include a set of commands or instructions which can be sent to the transmitter to elicit a desired response, such as transmitter control or interrogation.
  • Fieldbus is a communications protocol proposed by the Fieldbus Foundation and is directed to defining a communications layer or protocol for transmitting information on a process control loop.
  • the Fieldbus protocol the current flowing through the loop is not used to transmit an analog signal. Instead, all information is digitally transmitted.
  • the Fieldbus standard allows transmitters to be configured in a multi-drop configuration in which more than one transmitter is connected on the same process control loop.
  • the Fieldbus standard is a specification promulgated by the Fieldbus foundation.
  • the process interface specification is defined in "The Fieldbus Foundation, Fieldbus Specification, Function Block Application Process Parts 1 and 2", Documents FF-94-890 and FF-94-891, Revision H1 Final 2.0, January 2, 1996.
  • the Fieldbus standard is an open standard which provides communication between process I/O hardware and the Fieldbus interface through an arbitrary number of data channels, each having an arbitrary number of parameters associated therewith.
  • a Fieldbus process interface specification (transducer block) appears as shown in Table 1: Table 1 Channel Data Parameter 1 Parameter 2 Parameter 3 • • • Parameter N
  • Fieldbus interface circuitry in the transmitter reads and writes the channel data and parameters 1-N through software constants termed "function blocks" in the Fieldbus Foundation Specification.
  • WO03/013104 describes a multi-protocol field device and communication method comprising a first communications interface coupled to a digital databus and adapted to process HART communications, and a second communications interface coupled to the databus and adapted to process Fieldbus communications.
  • the present invention provides a two-wire process transmitter and method of coupling a two-wire process transmitter to a two-wire process control loop, as set out in claims 1 and 11 respectively.
  • a two-wire process transmitter for use in monitoring an industrial process includes HART communication circuitry configured to couple to a two-wire process control loop and operate in accordance with HART communication protocol.
  • the HART communication circuitry completely powers the transmitter with power received from the two-wire process control loop.
  • Fieldbus or Profibus communication circuitry is configured to couple to the two-wire process control loop and operate in accordance with Fieldbus or Profibus communication protocol and completely power the transmitter with power received from the two-wire process control loop.
  • a first pair of electrical terminals is adapted to couple the HART communication circuitry to the two-wire process control loop in a first configuration, and a second pair of electrical terminals is adapted to couple the Fieldbus or Profibus communication circuitry to the two-wire process control loop in an alternative second configuration.
  • FIG. 1 is a diagram of process control system 10 which includes a transmitter 12 connected to process pipe 16.
  • Transmitter 12 is coupled to a two-wire process control loop which operates in accordance with the Fieldbus or HART standard.
  • Two-wire process control loop 18 runs between transmitter 12 and the control room 20.
  • Loop 18 can carry a current I L which is representative of a sensed process variable.
  • the HART protocol allows a digital signal to be superimposed on the current through loop 18 such that digital information can be sent to or received from transmitter 12.
  • loop 18 When operating in accordance with the Fieldbus standard, loop 18 carries a digital signal and can be coupled to multiple field devices such as other transmitters.
  • the present invention provides a transmitter with a multi-protocol interface in which the transmitter 12 can be coupled to loop 18 in accordance with either the HART communication protocol or the Fieldbus communication protocol.
  • Figure 2 is a perspective view of transmitter 12 in which one end cover has been removed from a feature module 40.
  • the feature module 40 is coupled to a super module 42 which couples to process piping 16 (not shown in Figure 2 ) through manifold process coupling 44.
  • Feature module 40 includes a terminal block 50 having a first pair of electrical terminals 52 and a second pair of electrical terminals 54. Each pair of terminals 52 and 54 is configured to couple to the two wires from two-wire process control loop 18. Electrical terminals 52 are configured for coupling to loop 18 when loop 18 operates in accordance with the HART protocol while electrical terminals 54 are alternately configured to couple to loop 18 when the loop is operating in accordance with the Fieldbus protocol.
  • a slide plate 60 slides along tracks 62 and selectively covers either terminals 52 or 54 such that only one set of terminals (terminals 52 or 54) can be accessed at a time. This prevents an operator from coupling transmitter 12 to simultaneously to two process control loops.
  • FIG. 3 is a simplified block diagram showing electrical circuitry of transmitter 12 in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention.
  • super module 42 includes a process variable sensor 80 which couples to HART communication circuitry 82 through a measurement circuitry coupling.
  • the HART communication circuitry 82 couples to terminals 52 of a terminal block 50.
  • Local bus communication circuitry is also provided in super module 52 which communicates along a local bus 84 to local bus communication circuitry in a Fieldbus communication circuit 86 located in feature module 40.
  • Fieldbus communication circuitry 86 couples to terminals 54 and to an optional local device 90.
  • One example local device 90 is a display for displaying information from transmitter 12.
  • process control loop 18 is coupled to either the electrical terminals 52 for communication in accordance with the HART protocol or to terminals 54 for communication in accordance with the Fieldbus protocol.
  • Fieldbus communication circuitry 86 receives electrical power from control loop 18 to completely power transmitter 12. Circuitry 86 communicates with circuitry 82 over local bus 84 and provides power to circuitry 82. Process variable measurements are obtained using sensor 80 and provided to Fieldbus communication circuitry over bus 84. The measured process variable or information related to the process variable can be digitally transmitted in accordance with the Fieldbus protocol by Fieldbus communication circuitry 86 through terminals 54 and over process control loop 18, Fieldbus communication circuitry 86 can provide power to and communicate with an operational local device 90.
  • local device 90 can comprise a local display to display information from the transmitter 12 such as information related to the measured process variable, configuration information, etc.
  • HART communication circuitry 82 receives power from loop 18 to completely power transmitter 12.
  • a process variable measurement is obtained using sensor 80 and can be transmitted, either in an analog or a digital format as set forth in accordance with the HART protocol, over process control loop 18 through electrical terminals 52.
  • power is provided to the optional local device 90 over local bus 84 and through the Fieldbus communication circuitry 86.
  • circuitry in Fieldbus communication circuitry is powered by the HART communication circuitry 82 in order to access additional functionality.
  • HART communication circuitry 82 can provide a local output, such as to a local display, using local device 90.
  • the configuration of the present invention does not require a switch to selectively couple a single pair of input terminals to either Fieldbus or HART communication circuitry. Instead, two separate pairs of electrical connections are provided which couple either to the Fieldbus communication circuitry 86 or the HART communication circuitry 82. This provides a simple implementation which is not susceptible to the failure of a switch. Further, as the terminals are configured such that only a single pair can be used at any one time, the likelihood of user error is reduced. This configuration is achieved using the slide plate 60 which blocks the other pair of terminals.
  • the circuitry of the present invention can be configured as desired and the block diagram set forth in Figure 3 is only one example. Example implementations are set forth in U.S. Patent No. 6,457,367, issued October 1, 2002 ; U.S.
  • circuitry 86 comprises Profibus communication circuitry such that transmitter 12 can couple to a two-wire process control loop which operates in accordance with the Profibus communication standard.
